THEFT FROM ST. PETER'S CHURCH

(From Our Own Correspondent,)

THE CHINA MAIL.

January 14, 1924, The weather since I last wrote has been about perfect, in fact rather too perfect for the Skating community, for although the Rink has been completed for a number of days there has not been enough frost to form a sufficiently hard surface for skating. To-day there is a slight north-west blow on and this may mean a change to more wintry weather.

ARMY.DEFEAT NAVY.

On the H.K.C.C. ground yester day, the Army defeated the Navy in a cricket match, by the small margin of 7 runs. All four military bowlers were difficult to score off and runs came very slowly. The varied Naval trundling also pre- vented the Army side from hitting out but Q. M. S. Stripp dis tinguished himself by compiling 42. Scares:- Lieut-Cdr. Jotham, e Walker, b

It deals with the experiences of a map who is on- justly imprisoned, and his escape from Sing Sing the famous New York prison. From then on there are a number of exciting in- cidents. The bare outling sounds trite enough, but the way in which it is presented shows the dif

a first class picture, and the general run of " mere films."

The filmplay "Quincy Adams Sawyer," aptly dubbed a 'melo- drama mixed with humour," is proving a big draw at the Coronet this week. The story is an excep-'TIS tionally attractive one, and a star cast, the like of which is seldom

seen in pictures, makes of the play first-class evening's entertain- ment
